Christ's Entry Into Brussels in 1889 (also known as Entry of Christ into Brussels; French: L'Entrée du Christ à Bruxelles) is an 1888 painting by James Ensor and is considered his most famous work and was a precursor to Expressionism.
History
The painting was rejected by Les XX, and not exhibited until 1929. It was shown at his studio in his lifetime.[1]
It was exhibited at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Antwerp from 1947 to 1983, Kunsthaus Zürich from 1983 to 1987. It showed at a retrospective in 1976 at the Art Institute of Chicago, and Guggenheim Museum.[2]
The painting is on permanent exhibition at the Getty Center in Los Angeles.[3] The painting is one of just three recently selected by Stefan Jonsson to explicate the history of democracy and socialism over a period of two centuries, and how "the masses" are perceived.[4]
